Mallory's P.O.V:

"I wish I didn't have so many siblings!" I said to my little sister as she screamed, "I'm Hungry!" into my ear. They were so annoying! It was like you never got away from them. That was why I like school. Hey, it's not the best, but its better then taking care of like a billion other kids.

Strange enough, I love to babysit. Probably because:

The kids are way nicer.

They do not yell at me.

They are not my siblings. (Therefore, I do not have to be around them all the time)

"I'm leaving and I'll be back in an hour!" I yelled as opened the door. I was off to the babysitting meeting. Lately, Kristy and I have been in a fight. Sometimes, she can be so rude to me that I am surprised she let me into her house, even for a meeting.

She got mad at me because I had to cancel. That was only one time, though. She apparently "already had something to do" and so she had to cancel on that and babysit the person I was going to, instead.

It's not really my fault though. It was either I canceled, or I left my little sister who was four, at the house alone. My older siblings were doing something that night and I had arranged for my mom to come and babysit her, but of course, she had work.

Then Kristy got all mad because she had to, "Take responsibility for my actions." So, as you would think I wasn't as happy about this babysitters club meeting as usual. When I rang the doorbell, Kristy answered. Like every other time I had seen her, she frowned at me and said nothing when I stepped in the door.

Kristy's P.O.V:

"Get in!" I said to Mallory. Mallory was defiantly not a responsible member of the team. I had thoughts about firing her. I could, if I wanted to.

"Whatever, Kristy." Mallory told me. I then had enough. "Get out of my house!" I told her, kind of yelling. "Are you firing me?" Mallory asked me. "I think you know the answer." I told her.

She then ran out of the house, got onto her little bike and went off. I went upstairs not thinking twice about what I told her.

"Hey, where's Mallory? Claudia asked me. "Oh, she called in sick." I told her. Does she think that she will be better by the morning? She has like, three appointments tomorrow and everyone is pretty much booked.

"No, she has the flu and the doctor said that she won't be ready to get out of bed for… a while." I told Claudia. "That's horrible!" Mary Ann said. "How are we going to get someone to take her place?" Claudia asked everyone. "We can ask Nicole from school." Dawn said. "She likes kids."

"Okay." I told her. "Let's call her."

Dawn then dialed her number on her cell phone. "Hey Nicole!" Dawn said. We all then heard, "Hey Dawn!" because she put it on speaker phone."Would you be interested in taking Mallory's babysitting position for a few weeks? She has the flu." Dawn asked. "Sure! We heard Nicole reply.

After Dawn was done talking on the phone, she told Nicole that they would talk the next day.

I started to worry though. What if they learned what happened? Then they would think I was really immature…

I had to call Mallory and apologize. It was the only way for this to be okay.

Dawn's P.O.V:

This is weird. Mallory is sick, but didn't tell any of us, yet looked fine at school. There is something not right here. Kristy is acting all weird and I tried to call Mallory, but It went straight to her voice mail.

I don't know who is not telling the truth, but someone is and I don't know.

Kristy—is kind of mean sometimes, but she's usually nice. Sometimes she thinks she's all that though and personally, she's not.

Mallory—is never mean to anyone. At least, I don't think so.

Anyway this is really weird.

Mallory's P.O.V:

I am officially going to never talk to Kristy again. In fact, I blocked her number. She is ridiculous. Instead, I am going to start my own babysitting agency. Its going to be way better though. I could ask Nicole to babysit! She likes kids!
I dialed her number into my cell phone.

"Hey, Nicole!" I told her. "Hey Mallory!" she told me. "Are you feeling okay?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked her.

"Kristy told Dawn that you had the flu, so Dawn called me and asked if I wanted to substitute for you, until you are well. " she explained.

"Kristy is lying." I told her. "Earlier today, she fired me when before I went up to the meeting. "

"I'll call you back later Mallory." Nicole told me.

"Okay, Nicole. Bye"

Nicole's P.O.V:

Kristy lied! That wasn't like her! I was going to text Dawn.

Nicole: Hey, Dawn! You won't believe what happened!

Dawn: What?

Nicole: So, Mallory called me. Kristy was lying!

Dawn: About what!

Nicole: Mallory wasn't sick.

Dawn: Are you serious? So Kristy just lied to us?

Nicole: Pretty much, from what Mallory said.

Dawn: That's horrible!

Nicole: You know what else?

Dawn: What?

Nicole: Kristy fsired her!

Dawn: Oh my goodness! Why?

Nicole: I don't know?

Dawn: Gtg, bye!

Nicole: Ok, Bye.

Dawn's P.O.V:

Kristy lied!

Hey everyone! I know that that was kinda a short chapter, but I will be updating soon. Please review and tell me what you think about it! Any ideas for the next chapter?
